Phoenix Slip and Fall Lawyer, The Watkin Law OfficeWhen an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's property, the owner of the property may be liable (legally responsible) if it can be proved that their negligence or recklessness led to the injury. If you have been injured through a slip and fall accident at someone else's home or business which you believe may be a result the negligence or recklessness of another person, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover the costs involved to pay for your medical bills, any lost earnings or other pain, disfigurement, emotional distress or permanent physical disability you have suffered.

Generally, in cases involving slip and fall accidents, the person injured must prove that the property owner either failed to maintain the property, created an unsafe condition which caused the injury, or knew about the dangerous condition or hazard but failed to alert visitors or tenants to this fact.

It may also be important to know whether or not the unsafe condition was permanent or temporary. For example, in a situation where the hazard is a slippery sidewalk due, in part, to a temporary weather change (such as a sudden snow, rainstorm or ice buildup), the length of time the hazard existed might have a bearing on the injured person's ability to prove negligence.  However, if the underlying walking surface was already known to be unsafe whenever it DID snow, rain or get icy, then the property owner will likely be found negligent for failing to take measures to safeguard the sidewalk in the event of a sudden weather change.

IMPORTANT: If an insurance claims agent for the person at fault calls to "interview" you, decline -- at least until you have spoken with an attorney. Despite what the insurance agent might tell you, he is NOT "just trying to help."

If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area, which you believe is due to a property owner's negligence, we would like to hear from you.
